Highlights include "Hog Lobster", "Baby crow knows nothing", "Handful of Fluff", "Baby rabbit", "Proud Mom Presents Her Baby :)", "Handful", "Cat holder", "This purple octopus is adorable!", “Who’s a good boye?", "Little bat cuddling with a stuffed pink bear" and "This, I have no words, I have no words".

What is the creature in the Handful image? I have absolutely no idea what it is.

So this is entirely unrelated, but seems appropriate.

There was a recent @dog_rates retweet of a particularly dapper and proud looking shar pei, who it turns out has an Instagram account under the name "wrinkly jackson". There are so many well-dressed and slightly befuddled looking pictures there. He's like a nattily-dressed grandpa, but in dog format.

Baby blue herons are proof that dinosaurs never really went away.

I believe the "Handful" critter is a Spotted Quoll.

DaddyNewt, thank you! I feel better now about not knowing what it was, since I'm not very well versed in obscure, but adorable, carnivorous marsupials.

Any cute aggregator that includes bats is my kind of place.

Reddit - meet Diesel. My friend found him in the engine compartment of a truck and he was covered in oil and diesel.

My cousin’s husband is a mechanic. One day a lady pulls into the shop panicked saying she heard a high pitched noise coming from the engine on her way to work, it sounded almost like a kitten mewing. Reader, that kitten came home to live with my cousin and was given the obvious name “Motörhead.”

That dog will cuddle with the baby human until that naked baby human pees all over the dog because that's what baby humans do without diapers on.

Also, puppies will pee all over the carpet when the doorbell rings because that's what baby dogs do. Also, fully mature chihuahuas.
